oh my god, your joking right....you really have all those angels and tangs in one 15g nano?

 

[fishy411]

its only temporary but that is still a bit much.

 

[sula]

Is there some kind of prize for that?

 

[moray345]

post a pic sounds like it would look cool but not a good idea

 

[jacknjill]

hey guys, dont get all worked up. he said it was temporary and knows that it was a mistake and is getting a bigger tank ready for them. at least hes not one of those people who refuse to admit that they are wrong lol

 

[thedude]

oh yeah i missed the temp. thing , ide like to see a pic too....

 

[nm reef]

Several members of the "tang police" and "the society for the prevention of over crowding marine species" just fainted!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely not a good idea long term...but may work for a while. I'd sure keep a close eye on the species and on the water chemistry...:thinking:

Imo, it will be find for a few weeks if he has adequate filtration. Look at some lfs tanks I've seen 10g. tanks withe double that amount.

I can only imagine all the

if that tank wasn't temporary.

Just one thing, make sure to keep an eye on that mandarin, even after putting it in a bigger tank. The new tank may not have a big enough pod population to feed it.

Good thought...
I'm getting one of those "POD FARMS" for my 65 fuge
My 300 has been running for 2 months, Well just circulating water with all the live rock and Live sand.
I had to take everything out of my 65 so I could set it up as the fuge, hence the need for the Temp space.
They'll all be plenty happy in the new 300.

If I have any more filtration they'll be spinning around the tank like a washing machine on rinse cycle. LOL!
